I have returned from Miami University. I spent about 90 minutes with the head of Special Collections learning the state of 43 cartons and meetiong all of her staff. The books have all been catalogued and divided into two shelves: the book already in the MU card catalogue and books they do not have. While I was there, a nice young lady was working on the 150+ Broadway show vocal selections I shipped, and I understand that the Music Library will be brought in to examine the manuscripts and scores.
After that, I met the chairwoman of the Theatre Dept and she and I and an instructor/designer in the dept had a wonderful lunch. I got back to Randy's and found Jo feeling better. I helped her with a problem - they've got a mouse invasion going on - and she pulled one helluvan ugly rodent carcass from under the refrigerator.
On a side note, on my way to Miami U, I stopped at a supermarket to buy flowers for the ladies I was visiting. As I was backing my car out of its parking space, Macbeth pulled in next to me. My first reaction was, is he following me? He was there getting meds for Lady M who was undergoing a colonoscopy; I wanted to ask if it was to remove her head, but I behaved. Conversation was cordial and distant.
